Cruyff, Romario, Stoichkov, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho etc. At no point did anyone have a clue what Cruyff was earning, or give a fuck. That's correct. Those old players you talk of would have been highly paid ,and whilst we didn't know their wages, would they have been so ridiculously high as they are now, in relative terms? Money runs out at some point, whoever is paying it out. It's happened to us, and numerous others, not sure why anyone should feel any differently just because its Barcelona or any other huge club. Especially if some of that reputation has been gained on the back of paying over the odds for donkeys years. Fair play rules etc there to help prevent this, but they don't seem to work or aren't implemented properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away the day trippers from the likes of Barca, united Madrid and they’d have similar attendances to the massives. Hope they all go bust. Fuck them.

Don't suppose they're bothered as long as there are enough to fill the stadium and buy the merchandise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sent this the other day "Read an article about Barcelona To get Koeman they had to pay the Dutch FA £6m But they didn't have it and Koeman paid it himself He's on a two year contract and said if they give him a third year then he won't ask for the money back He's about a year in and they want to sack him but can't afford it. The president of Barcelona slags him off probably hoping he'll quit but he's thinking sack me, I'll get my contract paid off and you owe me six million quid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a full reset, problem is they owe so much money to so many people I don’t think they can afford to do it. They were the driving force behind the “Elite Super League” and probably why they still want in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how Pompey managed on the very same park. 4-0 is, to misquote the Norwegian commentator, "one Hell of a beating" for a team top of the table.

Dr. Feelgood Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Slightly off topic, but don't want to start a fresh thread, Mike Flynn, manager of Newport County, resigned/was pushed out on Friday. A native of Newport & after 4.5yrs in his second spell & play-off final 2 years running, currently mid-table he seems a strange first managerial casualty of the season.
